Judging by my increased heart rate, tonight’s “Breaking Bad” episode was the most suspenseful hour of “Breaking Bad” I have ever seen. Which might make it the most suspenseful hour of television, period.

No hyperbole, just truth.

I say this knowing we have five episodes left.

Some may claim the final shot of “The Sopranos” or certain scenes from “The Wire” are more shocking, significant and exciting. But if the dramatic engine of “Breaking Bad” is the Dark Father and surrogate-son drama of Walt and Jesse then “Confessions” has to be one of its most significant chapters.
